David Beckham

[crazy1 24]

the amount of money we would make from merchandise and new fans from america etc who go crazy for beckham it would be good business to sign him and give him a shot.

i agree with terminator x by bringing him Chelsea can attract new fans. and whatever money Chelsea will get by the sale of merchandise Chelsea can use it to pay debts and can be self sufficient in recent years. thats the reason why we want big(name) players.

A top club should be making tomorrows stars not buying in Yesterdays men.

I'd still class him as one of the best English footballers around today.

If Deco is to go, I would definitely like to see him playing for Chelsea. Like people have said, although his wages would be high; he'd be a good player for us, and would bring in a lot of revenue via the sales of merchandise, etc.

Revenue revenue revenue

how else do you think we would pay back Roman his 350m debt?

Ronaldo/Beckham/Kaka > > New Fans >> Revenue > > Debt Reduction

OR, OR OR

Win Titles > > New Fans > > Revenue > > Debt Reduction.

Either ways I dont want us to bring Beckham in.

I would feel embarrassed if we bought beckham tbh

I wouldnt be too against bringing him in on loan like Milan did as a squad player. I think he would do a bit of good for the club and the young players could learn from him. He is very respected and would sell a lot of shirts so why not, as lond as we dont actually buy him and make him a permanent feature.

Allo guys

been thinking for a while now that we should seriously look at the option of David Beckham. Here is why. We all know that Chelsea's downfall for the past three title baron seasons, has been our inability to change draws into wins.

Take last season for example , Hull (h) West Ham (h) Fulham (a) Everton (a) , these games, all draws and should have been wins (on paper). What we lack is an impact player who can direct the game in a different way in the last 20mins

imangine if you will, 4 more goals in those games, 8 mote points and it would have been another title is the cabinet! Regardless of our poor record against the other 'big 4' teams

now, if we had someone like beckham, we could have brought him on with 20mins to go and players like JT, Alex, Ballack, Drogba, Essien, Malouda , Anelka , Lampard etc etc would have thrived under the service into the box. Those games could have easily finished differently. Also take into account his dead ball service, free kicks and corners, and general distribution.

He'll be avaliable for around £15m, and we'd make that back twice over in shirt sales alone.

What does everyone else think?

Also his worked with CA before at Milan, his english (for when the CL brings in the new rule) and we all know what he can do on his day

it could be the difference between us winning the league or not this season

Financially (i.e. shirt/ticket sales) it's a decent move, but I am just not convinced that he has the speed/quickness to compete competitively in the EPL (but maybe in Series A).
